Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 380

Chapter 378: Harvesting Four Projects

Chapter 378: Gaining Four Projects
There are three reasons why Locke was impressed by this application.

First, this project is of very high quality and is almost complete. There is nothing to complain about except that there is no money.

Second, he really needed a reconnaissance magic plant. When he had previously fought the circus, he had been troubled by the lack of a reconnaissance magic plant.

Third, the project application stated that once the eye grass completes the magic grafting with the wizard, it will be able to connect with the wizard’s sight and transmit the wizard’s sight.

This attracted me. After all, some of my spells rely on sight. If I can combine them with this magic plant, the prospects may be very good.

“If I help this project, it will receive a large amount of funding and will be completed quickly. Once they are finished, I will try to synthesize it to see if I can create a special formula to strengthen the Eye Grass a second time, and then take it to other wizarding lands to compete.”

Locke thought: “This will be very helpful for both strengthening my combat effectiveness and increasing my resume and qualifications.”

There is no need to participate in the competition in the Land of Six Towers.

Even if you win the first prize in a competition in such a place, it is best not to write it on your resume. It can easily be misunderstood and the entire resume will be fake.

That would be like shooting oneself in the foot.

Seeing Locke deep in thought, the old wizard immediately spoke up, “I believe that Breeder Augustine will definitely be interested in this project. As long as you can help me obtain the first-level funding from the association, I will… give you both the communications and first-author positions.”

Locke nodded and said, “That’s not necessary.”

Based on his research, I can use the synthetic cube to synthesize a more powerful magic plant, but the prerequisite is that the other party’s magic plant needs to be researched as soon as possible.

I am quite interested in this magical plant that comes from underground mines.

As long as a new magic plant is synthesized, a new article can be published. Therefore, if you look down on the other party’s magic plant work and communication, it will instead taint the value of other achievements on your resume.

A resume is not a collection cabinet where you can put anything good you see in it.

But it depends on whether it is suitable or not.

Locke said, “It all depends on our respective contributions. Okay, I’ll help you apply for this project.”

The old wizard showed an expression of disbelief on his face. After all, in his eyes, handing over the projects and articles in his hands to the family wizard was common sense. It was a token of allegiance, and both parties got what they needed.

But soon the old wizard no longer cared about this, because Locke agreed, so he became excited and his whole body was shaking.

“Thank you, thank you. I knew my research would be appreciated.”

“My name is Collins, and I’m a teaching assistant at Magic Gem University.”

Locke looked at him strangely. “Assistant teacher? Isn’t that a position for outstanding first-class wizard apprentices? How could you be an assistant teacher? You’re a first-ring wizard. No matter how badly you do, you should at least be a lecturer.”

This isn’t the Star Sea or the High Sky Plains, so a first-ring wizard is still very valuable.

The Star Sea is the core wizarding land of the eastern boundary, and the Principle of the High Sky is the core wizarding land of the western boundary. In these two wizarding lands, the number of first-ring wizards is large, which is indeed nothing.

Old wizard Collins said with some shame, “Oh, you are a wizard from the outer wizarding land. In our Six Towers Land, even the assistant teacher position may not be held by a first-ring wizard.”

“Teaching positions are usually held by family wizards. They are all relatives…”

Old Wizard Collins said, “Here, common wizards like us don’t have any chance at all. A family wizard can get funding even if he just casually writes a project application, even if he has no resume. But ordinary commoners like us, no matter how good our resume is, have no chance at all.”

“Alas, it’s been so long now that I’ve become completely accustomed to this kind of life. There’s nothing wrong with it; everyone goes through this.”

Locke nodded.

Well, this magical wizarding area is different from others.

Next, Locke chatted with some civilian wizards and looked at at least eleven project applications during the banquet.

Some civilian wizards would read multiple project applications to themselves, and some were not civilians, but marginal wizards from major families.

For capable and ambitious wizards, this banquet is simply a place to pick up good projects.

Locke agreed to three more potion-related projects. These projects all had one thing in common: except for the lack of funding, they had everything else they needed and were very close to completion.

All Locke had to do was apply for funding for them, and then they would share their research results and all the original data with him.

Locke plans to use the three soon-to-be-completed potion projects to increase his knowledge of alchemy through in-depth participation, and at the same time use the Eye Grass project to increase his learning of the finite element cultivation method.

“This trip was well worth it,” Locke thought. “I didn’t expect to find such a reward. This land of six towers is like picking up gold everywhere for these distinguished guests from famous wizard families.”

“I can digest the resources that the family wizards cannot digest. There are a large number of civilian geniuses here who are suppressed by the family wizards. These geniuses have abilities, but they are not strong enough to break through the blockade of the family wizards.”

“If I join forces with them, I can accelerate my growth.” Locke looked at Senior Anthony. “I guess Wizard Anthony did the same thing.”

Locke had a conversation with the four civilian first-ring wizards with whom he had reached a cooperation agreement. They exchanged information with each other and agreed to go to their laboratories tomorrow to observe the situation. After confirming that there were no problems, he would help them apply for funds.

Locke walked over to Wizard Anthony, who stopped talking to others and said to Locke, “Brother, how did you get?”

“Hmm, four projects. It seems you’ve reaped a lot of rewards this time.” Wizard Anthony thought for a moment and said, “It must be because you’re so greedy that the civilian wizards from the Six Towers saw this and pulled out their best weapons, hoping to get a chance from you.”

“Only a genius like you can do it. Otherwise, even wizards from other wizarding lands would be tempted by these free items.”

Locke laughed and said, “Apart from that disappointing project, the other projects are good, but they haven’t really attracted me. I’m too lazy to publish projects of this level under my own name, so I don’t need their newsletter and first work. I’m just using them for practice.”

When Wizard Anthony heard Locke say that he didn’t need it, he looked at Locke in surprise, then smiled and said, “That’s right. You are different after all.”

Locke asked, “Brother, can we apply for the four funds?”

Wizard Anthony nodded. “Of course. If these funds are not given to you, they will be given to those ridiculous project proposals that the children of those absurd families have casually come up with. Those projects are neither reliable nor meaningful.”

“When they get the funds, they just embezzle them for themselves, spend them on themselves, or even use them for entertainment. So, these are just four applications, and I can approve them all tomorrow.”

“The more projects you have on hand, the better it will be for me. The more the better. I fully support you, brother,” Wizard Anthony said. “Just make sure you rest well. With four projects, plus the work with Great Wizard Sura, I’m not sure you can handle it.”

Locke nodded. “Well, thank you, Brother. I have an idea. Brother, I want to go to my room to rest.”

Anthony smiled and said, “That’s good.”

Anthony immediately found an elf wizard apprentice maid for Locke, asked her to lead Locke on the way, and told her that she could satisfy all Locke’s needs.
